Black Cab: 'Altamount Diary'

Everyone knows that the MP3 revolution killed the album, which makes the whole idea of a "concept album" seem like a thing of the past. This in turn makes the idea of a concept album about a thing of the past, in this case Altamount, even more retro than it might have been. As it turns out, this 2004 release by Australian band Black Cab is a great listen top to bottom and certainly follows the loose narrative of events at Altamount for its inspiration, but it's going to sound just fine on shuffle I'm sure. From the album Altamount Diary.
